Wedding Party

Leonard

Officiant

Even though the bride (and Vereen + Shirley families) have known Leonard since birth, we still can never predict what he’ll say. Buckle up for the vows y’all.

Mary Ann

Mother of the Bride

The elder and matriarch of her family, Mary Ann takes great pride in being a Jersey girl and she loves being near the water/beach. She often teases that she’ll live to 100… we could only be so lucky to have her around for decades to come - she’s our rock.

Myles

Ring Bearer

Myles is Krissy’s youngest nephew. He loves being silly, singing/making music and talking about video games.

Armani

Ring Bearer

Armani is the eldest son of one of Krissy’s dear friends. He is currently 4 and in his dinosaurs phase.

Amir

Ring Bearer

Flower Girl

Zora is the youngest daughter of Derrick and Kristina. Zora loves all things pink and blingy!

Passion

Flower Girl

Aiden

Usher

Xavier

Best Man

Jennifer

Day of coordinator

Big sister of Krissy, Jennifer is the mom of moms, known for taking care of everyone and everything. Jen, along with eldest sister Michelle, are the de facto bridal party as well as “coordinator” focused on the logistics & support on the wedding day. Raise a glass of bourbon with her in thanks at the end of the night!

Michelle

Day of set-up

Michelle is the oldest sister of Kristina and like her second Mom. She has traveled across the world to be here for her baby sister's big day. She loves traveling the world, wine and great food!

Leiah

Wedding Planner

Unofficially planning, Leiah, is the brides’ spirited sister-in-law who is known for creating checklists upon checklists; she couldn’t help but to jump in to sort out the details that will make the day special for the couple. Leiah loves food, art and travel.

Keila

Honor Attendant

A very close friend of the bride, Keila, is lending not only emotional support but hands-on planning/prep for wedding decor. This lady is a ball of energy and fun so after helping with the practical things on the wedding day, she’ll be keeping the dance floor lively!

Khary

Escort of the Bride

With the memory of her loving Father (James ‘Jai’ Shirley), who was known for his many creative talents, the bride has selected her similarly talented twin brother to walk her down the aisle in his place. Khary loves music, art and fine dining.

Krissy

Bride

Krissy has a heart of gold and optimism coursing through her blood - it’s why she recognizes the best in people and things. Fun loving as well, she loves music and dancing.

Derrick

Groom

Derrick is one of the hardest working (multi-job having) people you’ll meet. Despite barely having time for himself, he puts family first by being an attentive father and supportive partner. When he does get time off, he’s the life of the party - or somewhere asleep in the corner. It’s 50/50.
